I failed to mention in my earlier post, that my wife from a sitting position ran several 300 grainers through my old Win. Model 70 and said the recoil wasn't bad at all. memtb
Recoil is relative. A lot of hunters think a 30-06 has pretty good recoil. A .375 has almost twice the recoil of a 30-06. It also has more than a .338 mag.
Anybody who says it's not bad is not the norm. I think most hunters will start flinching in time shooting a .375.
